The Arizona Coyotes are expected to name 26-year-old John Chayka the team's new general manager on Thursday at a news conference, multiple sources told ESPN.com.
Chayka will replace Don Maloney, who was fired in April, and will be the NHL's youngest general manager.
The team, according to a source, will also announce plans for a restructured front office that will include more say in player personnel for head coach Dave Tippett.
Chayka was hired by Arizona last year as an assistant GM in charge of analytics. He is a co-founder of the analytics firm Stathletes, a company that has since grown to more than 50 employees.
